Robinhood Chain and pons
Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum-compatible network, so every fee on it is paid in ETH. pons is a launchpad on it: a new coin starts on a bonding curve, and once 4.2 ETH has gone into the curve it moves to a Uniswap pool.
The basics
Every launch and trade can be looked up on the chain's explorer, robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. For more on the launchpad itself, read What is pons?
memetools isn't run by Robinhood or by pons. It's software that builds the launch, checks it and sends it from your own wallet.
What a launch costs
pons charges 0.0005 ETH to launch a coin, plus gas. Everything else is the buys you choose to make, and our fee of 1% on each of them (0.25% with Pro).
At launch
Our fee is paid in the same transaction as the buy it's on, so a buy that doesn't go through pays nothing.
Every trade after
These apply on the bonding curve and on Uniswap after the coin leaves it. The full list is in the Documentation's fees.
Before you start
You need a memetools wallet on Robinhood Chain holding enough ETH for the launch fee, gas and your buy.
What you need
- A memetools account. You sign in with Discord, and the app is for members of our server who hold an access role.
- A Robinhood Chain memetools wallet. Open Wallets, pick Robinhood, and create one or import a private key. Your keys stay encrypted in your browser.
- ETH in it. Bridge from Solana (SOL, USDC, USDT or USDG), Ethereum (ETH) or BNB Chain (BNB) in Bridge, or send ETH from another wallet. See how to bridge to Robinhood Chain.
- The coin. A name of up to 32 characters, a ticker of up to 10, a description of up to 1,000 and an image.
A launch here is one batch your wallet signs for itself: the launch, your buy and our fee together, and so is every trade. Browser wallets like MetaMask can't sign that. They can still connect to show what they hold, but launching and trading here need a memetools wallet.
Step by step
From the Launch panel to a live coin, with one approval.
- Open Launch and pick pons as the platform.
- Fill in the name, ticker, description and image. You can also start from a post in the Twitter feed, or press Vamp to copy a live token's name, ticker, description and image (never its links).
- Pick the wallet the coin launches from and how much ETH it buys.
- Set the creator tax, 0–10% of every trade, paid to that wallet. It starts at 2%.
- In the Advanced layout, choose Normal or Snipe (next section).
- Press Launch coin, check the costs, and approve. memetools checks the transaction, signs it in your browser and sends it.
pons reviews the image when it's uploaded and can refuse it; the reason shows in the form. The name, ticker, image and creator tax can't be changed once the coin is live.
Normal or Snipe
Normal launches the coin with your wallet's buy alone. Snipe also has up to 20 of your bundle wallets buy the moment the launch confirms.
The anti-snipe tax
pons charges early buyers of a new coin an anti-snipe tax that starts at 99% and falls to zero over its first five seconds. Your own first buy is part of the launch, so it doesn't pay it.
How Snipe works
- The bundle wallets you tick are named in the launch as exempt from the anti-snipe tax, so they pay pons's fee and the creator tax like any later buyer.
- Each wallet's buy is built and signed before the launch, and sent the moment the launch confirms. If the launch fails, no buy is sent and no gas is spent on them.
- Robinhood Chain has no bundles, so these buys land just after the launch, not inside it.
- Our fee is 1% (Pro 0.25%) of each wallet's buy, paid in that wallet's own transaction.
Every buy is public. Anyone can see which wallets bought first and that the launch exempted them, so treat them as yours in everything you say about the coin.
Robinhood Chain bundler goes through a Snipe from the wallets to the costs.
After the launch
You land on the coin's panel, with its chart, your position and buttons to buy and sell.
- Trade from one wallet or several at once, including selling from every bundle wallet together.
- Creator tax from every trade goes to the wallet the coin launched from.
- At 4.2 ETH the coin leaves its bonding curve for a Uniswap V4 pool, and you keep trading it in the same panel.
- History lists the coins your wallets launched.
Risks
Memecoins are highly speculative, and most lose nearly all their value. Nothing here is financial advice.
- Anyone can launch on Robinhood Chain, so a coin there isn't backed by Robinhood, and neither pons nor memetools vouches for any coin launched with them.
- A coin about a real person or brand must not suggest they back it.
- Only you hold your keys. Save a backup of your wallets and keep its password safe: nobody can restore them for you.
- Check a coin's address on the explorer before you buy it. Copies with the same name are common.
